Chapter Twenty-Nine: Encounter Again
Although the pier is not close, there are bullock carts, so it didn't take much time.
In less than half an hour, I arrived at the wharf, and I saw the boats on the river coming and going, and the boat boss saw someone, so he waved his hand: "Start the boat!"
Today's river is more lively than usual, there are constantly boats passing by, but most of them are small boats, and the Yu family is a medium boat, so Ye Buregret lives in a small room alone, Su Ziji and Yu Lu, and a scholar, who are not too particular about it, live in a large room.
This boat is packed with people and boats, one big and one small boatmen, at first glance, they are father and son, and they don't like to talk, which makes Yu Lu and Su Ziji very satisfied.
At noon the next day, after eating, Yu Lu was a little seasick, lying down to rest, Su Ziji was not sleepy, at this time the lake was quiet, the sky was dark, I don't know when it was overcast, I turned around and saw that the opposite cabin was open, so I went to knock on the door.
The light in the opposite cabin was very dim, only the small window was faintly shining, Ye Buregret supported his palm-sized little face, looking at the chessboard seriously, this frowning and contemplative look was very different from usual, the chess pieces were pinched by the little hands, and the little face was more and more white.
"No wonder the Tan family kid can't forget, although he is a disgusting guy, his vision is not bad. Even Su Ziji had to admit that although Ye Buregret was still young, he was already a little stunning.
"No wonder Uncle Ye will urge him to participate in the chess tournament without regrets, the orphan girl from a poor family is good in appearance, she has excellent appearance, and she has no means of making a living, so she will be easy to suffer in the future. β
"However, with me, I won't let people deceive this girl!"
"Huh? This game is a bit familiar. Su Ziji thought about it, and when he arrived at the front and looked at the chessboard, he couldn't help but speak.
Who knew that Ye Buregret, who was in deep thought, "woke up", she immediately glared at him, frowned and scrambled the chess pieces, rearranged them, and snorted: "This chess game is the evolution of your family's chess game, just this one, you can see that you haven't looked at it carefully." β
There was some unhappiness in his tone.
Su Ziji touched his nose and knew that he had accidentally bumped into the habitual illness of an "idiot".
Painting idiots, chess idiots, idiots, art and skill idiots must be cherished in the field they love, and they can't see Su Ziji who guards the "treasure mountain" but abandons it.
"By the way, I see that Brother Yu seems to be a little seasick, are you okay?" Just when Su Ziji felt that he was still leaving, so as not to be innocent and blamed, Ye Buregret asked again and seemed awkward.
"I'm fine. Su Ziji was also quite surprised by this, knowing that he still had seasickness in his previous life, but he didn't expect that there was nothing abnormal in this life.
"You don't have to talk about me, talk about you, it takes four or five days to go up, the waterway doesn't stop day and night, and there is still one day to reach Fucheng, the boat is bumpy, although it is good to play chess, you still have to pay attention to rest. Su Ziji saw that Ye did not regret that he had no intention of resting, so he reluctantly reminded.
Ye Buregret was still concerned, but at this time he regained his true nature, and waved his hand away: "I know, hey, you are so verbose, you want to take a nap, go back to your cabin to sleep!"
This girl!
Su Ziji almost laughed angrily, it was not good to deal with this girl, so he rubbed her head, and before she fried her hair, Shi Shiran went out.
Sure enough, when I heard the sound of "Su Ziji" in anger, my heart was slightly smoother.
"It's not the end of the day, so I'll read the book for a while. Returning to the cabin where Yu Lu lived separately, Su Ziji sat down and read a book in a low voice.
Although I don't have a lot of experience, but when I read a chapter, [experience +1] floats in front of me.
"There are still 200 experience points to upgrade, let's make up 150 points today!"
Yu Lu and his scholar Xian had fallen asleep, there was no movement, Su Ziji deliberately lowered his voice, finished reading the three volumes, and finally made up today's experience, and was about to rest, when he suddenly heard a faint sound of the piano outside.
The sound of the piano flowed like a clear spring, faintly heard, even Su Ziji, a person who didn't know much about music, couldn't help but listen to it.
"Could it be that there are students on the same road?" At this time, it was not too late, and Su Ziji was a little bored from reading, so he simply buckled the scroll on the collapse, got up and went out.
When I got out of the cabin, I saw at a glance that the fog had risen at some point, and the reeds had gradually grown thicker, but now they were even more dense.
"This fog is a bit strange!" Su Ziji thought, a little farther away, through the reeds, a boat loomed into the reeds, which was even more hesitating.
"Although I heard the sound of the piano just now, I knew that there was a boat, but this fog came strangely. β
"Before a stick of incense, there was no fog. β
Su Ziji thought about it, and when he saw that it was a painting boat, he already felt that the painting boat was dyed with a layer of weirdness.
"This is a ghost story in the lake in the biography of Zhiwei. Su Ziji has reshaped his worldview, and he no longer dares to say that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, so he raised his vigilance when he looked at the painting boat.
The fog is big, it is said that his boat is relatively small, moving along the reeds, and the painting boat is large, sailing in the river, and most of them cannot be seen, Su Ziji did not relax his vigilance, but just listened.
The sound of the piano I heard just now came from the painting boat, but this moment, it sounded again.
I kept staring at it for a while, but I didn't see the painting boat getting too close, Su Ziji breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that even if the painting boat came from an unknown source, it shouldn't be much harm to him.
"It seems that I am a soldier. Su Ziji was not a person who got to the bottom of irrelevant matters, so he turned around and went back when he saw this.
At this moment, a slightly familiar female voice sounded in the mist, and Su Ziji paused.
β...... Third aunt, the induction is near this Linhua County, but we have never been able to find it, could it be that we are looking for the wrong place?"
Su Ziji listened hard, and heard an older female voice say, "This is normal, since it is a heavenly opportunity, how can it be so easy to find?"
"Heavenly Machine, Induction, Could they be looking for someone nearby?" Su Ziji suddenly appeared in his mind.
In the shrine that day, she reminded her that Su Ziji would never forget her.
The painting boat crossed over, although the conversation continued, but it was faint, Su Ziji glanced at it, and saw that the window under the ship's lamp was open, and a girl was about to look at the scenery from the window, and it happened that the four eyes were facing each other, and they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
"Xiyan, what's wrong with you?"
In the painting boat, the screen is half separated, only to see, the bronze goose fish lamp emits a soft light, in front of a five-foot wooden case, there are a few melons and fruits, Mrs. Hu sat in front, playing with a small fan in her hand, did not raise her head, asked.
Hu Xiyan heard the question, and pinched half of the rosewood in his sleeve, but said: "It's nothing, just look at the scenery, the lanterns on the boat are lined with the blue water of the lakeββ"
The painting boat swept by, but the speed was very fast, the water was rippling, and after a few zhang in a blink of an eye, Aunt Hu was not suspicious, but just sighed: "The lake is quiet and normal, and it is about to enter Panlong Lake, do you know that this lake has a master, at least there was a master before." β
Hu Xiyan secretly "puffed" herself, just now at a glance, and a little heartbeat, although the fog covered, not absolutely, but she was surprised to be seen by this young man.
If it weren't for the fact that half of the rosewood had no movement, or thought it was a fateful person, and pondered it at the moment, could this be his own fate, this is not impossible, the catastrophe is so unreasonable.
Thinking in her heart, without revealing the slightest, she asked in surprise: "There is a master, could it be that there is a big demon of the water tribe occupying?"
Aunt Hu sneered: "It was said that it was a big demon, and it was insulted, who do you say it is?"
Hu Xiyan's eyes fell on the surface of the river covered by the thick fog, guessing who the third aunt said was even a big demon.
"Could it be a dragon?"
Hu Xiyan's first impression of the most powerful existence in the water tribe is a dragon.
"It's a dragon indeed, and there's a dragon palace. β
"Third aunt, it seems that the Dragon Palace is not here, but in Yueqin Lake, right?" Hu Xiyan couldn't help but half-cover his face with a small fan, and asked in a lost voice.
Yueqin Lake is the first lake, the area is 68 times larger than Panlong Lake, almost the size of a county, similar to Yueqin, so it is called Yueqin Lake, which is a well-known thing.
"Yueqin Lake is the place of the Dragon Palace, but it is not the first Dragon Palace, Panlong is the meaning of the hidden dragon, this is the hidden residence of the Dragon King. Aunt Hu said, restrained her smile in a blink of an eye, and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter, we found a relationship to take over the Fu Chess Tournament this time, and there are many students in the Fu Chess Tournament, maybe there are people we are looking for." β
"Yes, Third Aunt!" This is the first priority, Hu Xiyan is slightly blessed, and he should be.
Looking behind me again, in just a few words, the boat was out of sight, and then gradually disappeared, and there was fog on the river.
Su Ziji saw that the fog dissipated a little, no longer covered his figure, and was busy looking on the deck, at this time, the sun fell in the dark clouds, shining waves of silver light on the deep river, and on the huge river, only a lonely boat remained.
"It's so fast, did you find out that I'm eavesdropping?"
Su Ziji thought about it, there was a sound behind him, and when he turned around, he saw the father and son of the boatman, who was almost forty years old, and the boatman said: "This son, the night is cold, you are going to the city to take the exam, but don't stand for a long time, so as not to suffer the wind." β
Su Ziji was disappointed in his heart, and brought a hint of a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, I'll go back, oh, that's right." β
As if inadvertently, he asked, "What did you two hear?"
The father and son looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Then it'll be fine. Su Ziji was sure that he should be the only one who saw this scene.
Back in the cabin, there was a soft snoring sound from the opposite side of the curtain, and Su Ziji's attention was focused on the information frame he had summoned.
Glancing at the values on it, Su Ziji put it away and thought secretly: "There is no change, could it be because of this golden finger that I am different from others and can get a glimpse of a trace of inhuman things?"
This kind of speculation has no reason, and Su Ziji is not very sure, so after thinking about it, he put it down.
Although I regret passing by the girl again, the top priority is to go to Fucheng, accompany me to participate in the chess tournament without regrets, participate in the government examination to show talents, and other things can be pushed to the back.
And Yu Lu, who was asleep, got up and listened to the boatman shouting: "Into the lake, into the lake." β
From a distance, you can see the vast lake surface, the area of this Panlong Lake is not small, there are seven rivers injected, Su Ziji sees the rippling blue waves, the water quality is clear, this is not polluted water source, the fruit is beautiful.
"It's no wonder that this is the place where the chess tournament is held, because it is a calming environment. "Su Ziji thinks that it would be better to hire a boat to study in the lake before the exam?
But when I thought of the rental fee, I shook my head again.
"Docking here, you need to hire a big boat that can live daily and study, a small boat can't do it, but the cost of a big boat, the rent is more expensive than a single room in the inn, it's not cost-effective. β
Poor people really don't think too much.
After laughing at himself, it was close to dusk, and Su Ziji saw a few painting boats in the distance, which were more luxurious than what he had seen just now, forming a continuous lantern boat, which had been lit up with lanterns, and the lights were brilliant up and down.
"Childe, this is a chess boat, with seven ships in a row. The boat boss introduced.
